Looking at the info I've found tho, I don't think it will do what I'm
looking for.  Has anyone used either of these in the past?  If so, does
one of these do what I'm looking for?

ecryptfs-utils is the userland management of the kernel's ecryptfs.
Ecryptfs uses an overlay filesystem to encrypt files within a directory,
it is what Ubuntu uses for encrypted home directories

cryptmount is for working with LUKS filesystems, which appears to be the
route you are leaning towards. I haven't used it and don't know what
advantages it has over a user script, if you want to manually mount the
filesystem, or /etc/crypttab.

I thought Gentoo used /etc/conf.d/dmcypt? I still haven't figured that part out yet. I need to read up on that more. I'm not sure what it does exactly, yet.
